Children’s Clothing Sales: Monday, 1/5/09

What’s On Sale

There are some notable shifts in winter clearance and sales this week.  These sales are unheard of this early in the seasonal transition.   40-60% is the norm for after Christmas, but it’s early for 60-80% sales, and we seeing them practically everywhere.

We found Abercrombie Kids markdowns as low as 60%, and many as low as 50%.  Hanna Andersson took another markdown, and you can now get remaining inventory at 75-80% savings.  Boden took another markdown to 70%.

Practically every merchant has some markdowns in the 70%+ range.  So those who don’t yet — will.  Expect to buy low this season.   And, expect to buy new Spring merchandise at introductory sales of 20-30% off (such as with Hanna Anderssons Early Bird Sale).
